The Austrian kids bike brand woom is a relative newcomer to the UK, with a range of very lightweight bikes that are proving popular with Cycle Sprog readers.

The woom 4 is their 20" wheel offering, and at 7.7 kg it's one of the lightest geared bikes on the market.

The woom 4 is a good choice for urban cycling, as you can add in an optional extra kickstand for ease of parking up when you've got where you want to go.

You can also fit the woom mudguards (which are available to buy separately) to prevent your child getting too much splashback when they're cycling on raining days.

However, this isn't just a bike for riding on road.  The woom 4 is fitted with Kenda Small block tyres, meaning you can confidently venture onto gravel and grass without any worries.

We've reviewed two single speed, smaller Woom Bikes and were very impressed - they did the daily school run throughout winter and looked as good as new at the end of it. Read our review of the woom 2 and the woom 3 review to find out more.

If you're looking for a quality 20" wheel bike with gears for general use then this bike is certainly worthy of consideration.

Boardman Bikes have a range of adult bikes built for going on two wheeled adventures called the ADV.  In winter 2022 they decided to add a smaller version - the Boardman JNR ADV 26" - to allow smaller people to come along too.

The Boardman ADV 26" shares much of the same specification as its 700c counterparts.  They claim that a triple-butted aluminium frame and alloy fork provide a stable and confidence-inspiring ride whilst offering maximum versatility with luggage and mudguard mounts. The Vee Speedster multi-surface, mid-tread 1.5" tyres are a fast rolling option for tarmac and light trail use, and can be swapped to something more aggressive, should your adventure demand it.

Ergonomic drop handlebars and cable disk brakes are designed with comfort and control in mind, and with a wide range ratio nine-speed cassette, the ADV 26" is well worth considering for your bike backing and gravel riding adventures.

The YOMO 26 is a premium lightweight bike that makes the jump to a larger size easy and fun for your child. It's an excellent choice for kids looking to tackle varied terrain and longer rides.

This bike stands out with its Tektro disc brakes, which are a premium feature not found on cheaper kids bikes. These provide reliable stopping power in all conditions and are easy for smaller hands to operate, giving your child more confidence and control on the bike.

With an aluminium frame and quality components, the YOMO 26 weighs just 9.9 kg, which is significantly lighter than many bikes of this size.
This makes it much easier for your child to handle and manoeuvre, whether they are on roads, paths or trails.

We have been impressed by the quality of the smaller bikes in the range and we're confident the YOMO 26 is a great choice. You can read our review of the YOMO 24 to find out more about the brand.

Frog have three 26" wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.

It's a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn't really specialising in one particular type of cycling.

One word of warning - Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand.

The Black Mountain SKØG is a really clever bike designed to grow with your child.

It's got 16" wheels and an innovative "growing frame” designed for smaller riders, so you can skip the hassle and the expense of buying two bikes.

The SKØG is fitted with a maintenance and oil free belt drive rather than a traditional chain, to keep things easy and clean.

Age wise it’s designed for about 4.5 years up (102cm to 121cm height range) which could be until 7 years old (depending on growth rate.)

The SKØG can also be used as a balance bike if your child hasn’t quite mastered that stage of learning to ride yet, which will help speed up the "learning to ride" phase.

Our reviewer hadn't started pedalling when she got the SKØG - you can read our review of how quickly she became a confident cyclist here.

Black Mountain Bikes have a really clever "growing frame" which means that when your child outgrows the original frame size you can adjust the frame and the gearing to make it last much longer.

This means you get at least two bikes for your money and don't have the hassle of having to sort out a new bike. 

The KAPĒL is their 18" wheel offering, but taller children may want to move straight onto the 20" wheel HUTTØ to get maximum usage.

Most 18" wheel bike are single speed, meaning they don't have gears.  The KAPĒL is one of the exceptions, making it ideal for those who regularly ride hills.  Do remember that not all children are ready to start using gears at this age.  

Another clever feature about these bikes is the fact that they can start out in balance bike mode if needed (you do need to buy an additional balance bike convertor kit) so your child can progress from learning to balance through to pedalling all without you needing to buy a new bike.

The Rockrider Kids’ Mountain Bike 26″ EXPL 900 is designed for children aged around 9 to 12 years (135–150 cm tall) who are ready to take their riding up a notch.

With a lightweight aluminium frame and an 80 mm suspension fork, it’s built to handle proper trails and give young riders the confidence to roll over bumps, roots and rougher ground. The simple 9‑speed gears are easy to use, so kids can focus on enjoying the ride rather than fiddling with tricky gear changes.

One of the real stand‑out features at this price is the hydraulic disc brakes. Many kids’ mountain bikes around this budget come with basic V‑brakes, so having the same smooth, powerful stopping power you’d expect on an adult mountain bike is a big win. Paired with grippy 26″ all‑terrain tyres and strong double‑wall rims, it’s ready for weekend rides on the trails as well as everyday cycling. Everything – from the child‑sized cranks and short stem to the comfy saddle – is designed with young riders in mind.

At around £450, this is one of the best value kids’ mountain bikes out there. You’re getting the kind of quality and components you’d normally expect to pay a lot more for, but without the big‑name branding.

If your child is starting to outgrow basic bikes and you want something trail‑ready that will last, the EXPL 900 is a smart choice that won’t break the bank.

The Orbea MX24 XC is a Mid-Range junior mountain bike designed to give young riders a genuine off-road experience without the extra weight and complexity of cheaper alternatives.

With its lightweight aluminium frame (total weight is 11.4 kg) and junior-specific components, it's built to offer comfort, control, and fun for riders between 125cm and 150cm tall.

We haven't reviewed this exact model, but we have published a rider review of the smaller Orbea MX20 XC, where we found the bike to be great for tackling more varied, mixed terrain.

The Orbea MX24 XC is great for mixed terrain cycling, from urban paths to gentle off-road trails and tracks.

It features a 7-speed Shimano Altus drivetrain for reliable shifting and an SR Suntour XCT-JR suspension fork with 50mm of travel to absorb bumps and improve confidence on rougher ground. Practical details like junior-specific V-brakes, internal cable routing for a cleaner look, and durable Kenda Booster tyres make it an excellent choice for young adventurers.

The Frog 73 is a good all round bike which will be happy on most terrains so ideal for children who ride anywhere and aren't specializing in any one particular kind of cycling.

It has an 8 speed Shimano gear system operated by thumb shifters and having an 11-32T cassette, which should be good for all but the steepest hills.

The larger Frog bikes have lost the childish branding of the smaller bikes, so should appeal to an older audience.  However if you have a shorter but older child in their teens don't be surprised if you find some resistance and the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand, as Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand. 

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the Frog 73 for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

The Frog 78 is the largest of Frog's three 26" wheel bikes, and is an all round bike suitable for children (or smaller adults!) with a minimum inside leg of 78cm.   

The handlebars can be adjusted within a 54mm range and there's a quick release seat post that makes adjusting the saddle height easy to do. Your kid should hopefully therefore get a decent amount of time on this bike, but some kids do grow very rapidly at this age. 

It's comforting therefore to know the Frog Bikes really hold their value, so if you keep it well maintained you should be able to sell it on to fund the next bike.

The Cube Acid 240 AllRoad is Cube's entry level mountain bike (the Cube Acid 240) with additional accessories (mudguards, LED lights and kickstand) for riding on road.

The result will be suited to children who are riding gentle off road routes at the weekend (and therefore appreciate the suspension) and who are also riding to school in the week.
